One of the Greatest Misunderstandings in the Church

Have you ever wondered why someone can move in the anointing of The Holy Spirit, perhaps in delivering a sermon or in God using them in a powerful way, yet, they are still struggling with issues that have them act in ways that are not of God?

Maybe they still cuss or secretly are addicted to perversity or are just plain mean to those around them. It is because The Holy Spirit can co-exist with unclean spirits inside of the same temple (body/person).

Remember, The Holy Spirit comes like a dove (Matt 3:16, John 1:32) and does not “kick out” the stronghold spirits and their fruit until we activate the power of The Holy Spirit with the spoken word (Jesus is the Word and only He can activate His Holy Spirit).

God still requires us to move into a place of authority and kick out the influence of Satan’s unclean spirits in our lives and temple/body in the name of Jesus (Mark 6:7). Remember to speak with authority to anything that is not of God in your life.

God has already granted you the power, now take it and move in your full dominion. Then, and only then, will Satan flee from your temple and life. Then, you will be Holy – without mixture. Ephesians 4:21 – 27, Eph 5:27, and Col 3 speaks of this.

Here’s to living Holy! Have a great evening!

Love, Ericka

It is Already Yours

I had a great question from a participant on my Beyond Fearless Tele-class on Thursday evening. I was sharing how praying to God and asking Him to deliver you from something is not effective. You must command the stronghold spirit directly, in Jesus’ name, and it must obey.

At the end of the call, she anonymously asked, “Can’t we pray to God and He will do it for us? Why not?” I answered, “No. God won’t do it for you because it is already yours. He had already given it to you. It has already been done.”

The Holy Spirit has been dealing with me in the fact that He has already given everything to us, now we only need to learn how to “pull it down” from the Heavenly realm. How do we do this? By spending time in the presence of God and prayer. God reminded me that the results are not in the doing, but to the extent that I am spending time in communion with Him.

He has already given me everything I need. Now, I just need to work on believing it and aligning my mind, body, and spirit with the Word of God. He shall provide all of my need according to His riches.

That means that every resource, person, insight, revelation, truth I need has already been released to me. Now, I just need to take it. God set aside the promised land for the Israelites and yet, they still had to step into their dominion and take it.

God also reminded me that I need to spend 50% of my time working and 50% percent of it needs to be His. He will show me everything I need to know in my time with Him. It is not by my works, but by His grace and mercy that I experience His blessings in my life.

What is it that you need? What do you need to “pull down” from Heaven?

Set aside time to sit with God this evening and see what He he will show you to do. He will literally show you how to expand your belief, speak to that mountain and it will move. It is already yours, now take it.

Commanding the Unclean

PART III

After I establish the authority, the next step is to establish the boundaries for the unclean spirits. You have to be very specific. Remember, they are like mischievous little children who want to wreak havoc and will try to get into any door that is left open.

COMMANDING THE UNCLEAN

In the name of Jesus, as I stand in the power, authority and dominion that you have provided me. I declare that I am Holy Ground. I belong to Jesus and my body is His temple. Satan, you have no jurisdiction on Holy Ground. In the name of Jesus, you have no rights, no authority, no power and no will to operate any longer in my life.

I am now fully aware of your deceptive ways and they end today, in the name of Jesus. My Master Jesus Christ defeated your master Satan, therefore, you are subject to the name of Jesus and must obey the words that are spoken.

In the name of Jesus, every unclean spirit and the fruit that it has attempted to grow in my temple and life must leave today the instant you are commanded to leave. You must take with you any other unclean spirits and you are never to return again. You will go where the Words says you are to go – into the dry and arid place and you are never allowed to enter into any living or unloving thing forever, in Jesus’ name.

No matter how long you have been in my temple and no matter how you got in, you will get out and you will stay out of my temple forever. You are not allowed to come near my family, my loved ones, my home, my work place, my church or any other place that my feet touch from this day forward. You are not allowed to manifest in anyone I come in contact with from this day forward in Jesus’ name.

In the name of Jesus, you are not allowed to manifest any of my belongings or anything at all in my life or the lives of anyone I come in contact with from this day forward. I now declare everything I touch, everything God has blessed me with and everyone I cross paths with as Holy Ground and you are not allowed in Holy Ground in Jesus’ name.

From this instant forward, no unclean spirit is allowed to even speak my name through anyone else’s mouth. Their lips are sealed and they cannot utter my name in any negative way from this day forward. In the name of Jesus, every unclean spirit that is called by name and those that are not called by name must immediately come up and come out, in Jesus’ name.

You are to detach yourselves from one another and any other part of my body, mind, spirit and soul. In the name of Jesus, line up one-by-one and without hesitation, you will obey the commands. You have no rights, you have no will and you are not allowed to hesitate or attempt to influence any other unclean spirits in this process. Your time is up and this temple is returning one-hundred percent to Jesus.

I belong to Jesus and from this instant forward, in His name, you will never stop or slow me down again from doing the will of God. You have tried and it has not worked. I am more committed to living out the will of my Lord and Savior than ever before. In Jesus’ name, you are powerless against the righteousness in which I live. You will no longer affect my life in anyway.

Every door that I am aware of and those that I am not aware of it now shut and you have no access to my life. Every named or unnamed unclean spirit and its fruit must come out when commanded, in the name of Jesus. You are no longer allowed to wreak havoc on my life and every door of access is now closed. Every generational door is now closed.

Every door that was opened in any way in my life is now closed. Any door that anyone else opened in my life is now closed to you and you have no more access to me in any way, shape or form, in Jesus’ name. All this I ask, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

In His Name, Ericka

Speak Your Authority and Dominion

Part II of the Prayer and Command, the Declaration of Dominion and Authority.

You can download the entire prayer/command by clicking on the following link:  Beyond Fearless Introductory Prayer and command

DECLARATION OF DOMINION AND AUTHORITY

Father, in the name of Jesus, I decree and declare that I belong to Jesus, the name above all names and the name to which every unclean thing must bow and obey. My spirit, mind, body, and soul all belong to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is the master of my life. I am his precious possession and stand in all of the power, dominion and authority that is in His name.

Today, in Jesus’ name, I receive the inheritance as a co-heir with Christ to all of the good and abundance that God has for me. I receive every blessing and miracle that God has set aside especially for me. I am a child of the Most High God and before Him there is no other God.

I cast down any idols in my life that I am aware of or that I am not aware of. I confess that I have fallen short of your glory and ask for your forgiveness now, in the name of Jesus’. I turn away from any behavior or choices I have made that do not reflect the glory of my Father Jesus.

I declare that I fully understand and believe that I sit at the right hand of Jesus in the heavenly rank and therefore stand in all of the power and authority that this spiritual rank affords me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

In His Service, Ericka

How to Take Your Dominion

PART I

Thank you all who tuned into the first Beyond Fearless Call this evening. As promised, I am including the Prayer and Command for you. You will see when it moves from “praying” into “commanding” (although we are supposed to be commanding in our prayers). It is quite long, so I just took excerpts from it here, but the entire prayer and command is yours for downloading.

I pray that this guides you in the process of clearing the strongholds from your life. When you remove the strongholds, you remove Satan’s power and the world all at once. …enjoy!!!

Those who the Son sets free are free indeed (John 8:36)

INTRODUCTORY PRAYER AND COMMAND

I use a similar prayer to this one, or as the Holy Spirit moves me at the beginning of a deliverance session. I move directly from the prayer to the declaration and command, without a break in the process. I included these so you can get the feel for just how authoritatively you must speak to unclean spirits and how to close every door through which they have gained access.

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you and praising you for being such an awesome and mighty God. Thank you for your power, Thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for making me the head and not the tail and openly and lovingly providing the keys to your Kingdom so I can live life and life more abundantly, in Jesus’ name.

Lord, I am humbled by the power of your Word and I present my body and my life as a living sacrifice to your will and your way. I come standing on your Word as the Truth and your will for my life. Lord, your Word says that you will sprinkle clean water on me and save me from my uncleanliness.

Father, in the name of Jesus, now that I am clean, call for the grain, make it plentiful and do not allow famine to overtake my life. You said that you will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field. Thank you in advance for this Word coming to pass in my life. Father God, I Thank you for leaving me a clear path to living out the fullness of your will.

Thank you that through you, Lord Jesus, the works of Satan have been destroyed and I can live above sin. Lord, thank you for the deliverance and the breaking of every stronghold in my life. In the name of Jesus, from this day forward I walk in the fullness of your will with no obstacles or hindrances in the way. I stand on your word that tells me that you will do what I ask in your name.

Every unclean spirit is removed from me today. I ask that every place they have left void be filled with your Holy Spirit. I ask that any damage that the unclean spirits have caused in my temple will be reversed, restored and rejuvenated. Thank you for your Word that grants me the authority to cause one-thousand demons to flee in your name. This will be a fast work and this work will be complete this day, in the name of Jesus.

Today, I am restored to my rightful position at the right hand of Jesus and I commit myself to doing even greater works that you have left for me to do. Guide me through this process and clearly identify the names of the unclean spirits and how they have oriented themselves in my temple.

Lord, open my spiritual eyes so that I may see you. Open my spiritual ears so that I may hear you as I move forward in your work. Your Word says that what is impossible with man is possible with you. Nothing is impossible for you. I declare that I believe in you and the power of your name as the God of miracles. I ask for a miraculous deliverance right now and consider it done in Jesus’ name, Amen.

In His Service, Ericka

98 Percent of The Body of Christ is Oppressed

“Ninety-eight percent of the Body of Christ is oppressed with unclean spirits – from the pulpit down – and they are unaware of it.” These are the words that the Holy Spirit spoke to me in June 2008 and those words catapulted my life to a whole new realm.

It is possible for you to live free from problems, hindrances, and habits that stop you from becoming who God created you to be. It is not only possible, but it is how God created you. Thus it is imperative to walking in the fullness of His vision for your life. When God created you, He had something very specific in mind for you to do and complete in your lifetime. It is possible to become that person without anything holding you back from every good thing that God has provided for you to experience.

Does this sound too good to be true? Well, it’s not. That is how God created you and it is time for you to move in the fullness of who in are in Christ. Yes, you can live problem-free. Yes, you can stop Satan from touching your life. Yes, you can remove every bad habit from your life. Yes, you can live without obstacles slowing you down or stopping you from moving forward. Yes, you can live without lack.

God left a clear blueprint on how to move fully in your gifts and vision. That is what my new book, Beyond Fearless, lays out for you.  We have somehow come to believe that our walk with God is going to be riddled with obstacles and hindrances. Those days are over. It is time to walk into the life God designed for you.

What Is a Hindrance?

A hindrance is defined as a thing that provides resistance, delay or obstruction to something or someone. It is an obstacle or barrier that you allow in your life. Hindrances are a result of being disconnected from God’s authority and can be removed when you are reunited with the authority God has granted you, in the name of Jesus.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. – Hebrews 12:1

It is important to understand that all hindrances are allowed by God. There are many places in the Word that state that God even put certain hindrances in the way of believers to require them to overcome and persist in their walk. God created the entire universe, which includes Satan and his unclean spirits. Satan is the adversary and overcoming the adversary is part of God’s process to moving you into your full power, authority, and dominion.

God has revealed a process to me that removes hindrances from your life once and for all. He left a process so you can live without any barriers, obstacles, obstructions and hesitations. I thank God for allowing me to be the vessel to bring you this important and life-reclaiming work! To God Be the Glory!

Understanding this work requires you to open your mind to the absolute Truth of the Word of God. While this sounds easy, many of us have not been operating in the Truth of the Holy Spirit even though we have attended church for years. The Truth requires you to be willing to admit that you don’t know everything there is to know about God. It requires taking off the limitations of who you perceive Jesus to be and to move into a new realm of understanding.

This work was part of the core functions of the ministry of Jesus, yet somehow it has been left out of the day-to-day lives of believers. There is Truth the church has managed to leave out of its teachings and all too often, true deliverance is one of them.

True deliverance has been so edged out of the church that it has become marginalized and considered strange. We talk about Satan and the devil, yet do not understand the workings of the heavenlies or spiritual realm and how they affect our daily lives. We don’t understand how clean or unclean spirits work, and therefore, we are living lives detached from the divine nature of Jesus and what it affords us in our daily walk with Him.

I will be teaching how to truly get free and experience the fullness of God in a series of blogs over the next week. Stay tuned…there is more to come…

God, Please Send The Right One

I just got off the phone with my friend, Toni. We were talking about the importance of discerning who can do the work in the ministry and who God sends to do the work of the ministry. Leading a ministry that is separate from a particular church or denomination is so amazing, but one of my challenges is having the right people in the right place.

I have learned that those who God sends can see beyond the money. We can pay anybody to do anything and they can do it well, but that does not mean that they are the one God assigned to this ministry. I am listening for a certain understanding of how God operates when He calls someone to work with a ministry. It is different than in the secular world.

Yes, they can do the job and probably do it nicely. That is not the point. If that is why they are here, then they will move on to the highest bidder for the next project. I only want to work with those who are on Kingdom assignment from God to join this work.

This is very important when you don’t have a set salary to offer someone. They need to move more out of faith and obedience than on exchanging dollars for hours of their time. They need to see where we are going with their spiritual eyes. Only God can reveal this to them. This goes wayyyy beyond a resume and a client list.

The work that we are doing in this ministry is changing lives, bodies, hearts, minds and souls. It is not for the faint of heart. I know that this is not only true for my ministry, but any ministry. And, regardless of what happens over time, I believe that most ministries begin with the intention to serve God.

I am prayerful for the right people, with the right heart, and the right instruction from God. I’ll keep you updated. I know that God speaks to me and to the person He has assigned to this vision. I may be the main vessel, but He is sending others to be vessels for their portion of this crucial work.

To God be the Glory! – Ericka

Getting Spoiled by the Signs and Wonders of The Holy Spirit

I have been spending the day reading blogs, commentaries, and micro-blog posts about people’s experience of Jesus. I am a bit saddened that believers are not experiencing the signs and wonders that accompany the Truth of the Word of God (Mark 16:17). We are to be the healers who Jesus heals through. We are to be the deliverers who Jesus delivers all who are His from evil and the works of Satan in our lives.

Every believer should have stories of all of those who God used them to heal, deliver and set free. Yet, when was the last time God was able to use the majority of us for those purposes?

Don’t get me wrong, I think that God using us to lead people to salvation and learning to love Him is absolutely awesome! Yet, people are coming to churches all over with walkers, crutches, pains, aches, sickness, emotional trauma, and the strongholds of the world running rampant in their lives. They are leaving with the same issues they came in with.

We are falling so short of the greater works (John 14:12) that it truly burdens me. I have to be careful that the wonders of God that I get to witness on a daily and weekly basis don’t spoil me. I have even said that unless the presence of  The Holy Spirit is so strong in a place that if someone were to come in with an eye missing, God would grow them an eye.

These signs and wonders and even greater are opening up as I write this. I asked my Apostle what it takes for The Holy Spirit to move in this way without fail. He told me that His Spirit always accompanies the absolute Truth of scripture.

As I boldly ask God to reveal the mysteries of His Word to me, I teach them and have witnessed bodies healed, hearts healed from years of abuse and neglect, and deliverance from stronghold spirits. I wish the same thing for every believer.  

This entry is about challenging you to stretch your mind to the higher things of God. We must get beyond commentary of the Word and truly teach believers how to move in the things of The Holy Spirit. God is releasing something that we have never seen before in the history of the world.

I will be most careful not to allow the signs of wonders of God to spoil me so I can remain absolutely open to however The Holy Spirit chooses to move.

In His Service, Ericka

Without Vision, Little Matters

This is just a quick reminder that no matter what you think you are doing for God, you must never forget the vast importance of manifesting the calling God has on your life.

I was studying Matthew 7: 21 – 24 yesterday and I was struck at what it really takes to enter into The Kingdom of Heaven. This scripture reads:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And I will profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

This scripture reminded me that it is not enough to know the Lord. It is not enough to be able to hear the voice of The Holy Spirit clearly and prophesy on His behalf. It is not enough to move in deliverance and take dominion over Satan in His name. Nor, is it enough to do many wonderful acts and deeds.

Then, what does it take? If all of these things are assumed by God as the basics, what does it really take to access the power of The Kingdom of Heaven on earth and once you leave this earth? It takes doing the will of The Father. That means that we must be following the call God placed on our lives with full obedience, faith and trust.

It means that doing for God 80% of the time and still working in the secular world will not do. It means deeply seeking Him and not only hearing His words, but living them…100% of the time.

It is very possible when you fully trust Him and follow His Holy Spirit.

This scripture reminded me that we must be crystal clear about His vision for our lives and pursue with 100% obedience. And no matter how many signs and wonders of God we are used to perform, God expects our everything.

What does 100% obedience to God look like in your life? It’s time to find out.

Love, Ericka
